I had to change a few things because of some leaks when I did my smoke test. Hopefully I'll be running my truck on wood gas soon. Just have to run it up to the throttle body and figure out my mixture valves. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sI_MXBfszY
More work on the 12-volt lighting system in the tiny house. I took a couple of old reading light fixtures and cleaned them up. Then I made a couple of 12-volt LED bulbs that screw into the standard AC fixtures.
I also made an LED bulb to go into the outside light fixture.

I picked up another project for the future. It's a 97 Chevy short bus. It has a 6.5 V8 diesel. 4 speed automatic transmission. It should make a good camper eventually. For now it will make a truck to haul the rest of the supplies for the cabin.

This is how to bypass the VATS security system in older GM cars. This will solve the problem of bad connections. It will also allow you to have a regular key made for it for $2 rather than $50. In my case it was a little too late because my key is lost so I have to get another one from the dealer anyway. If you want to do this you can find the resistance by getting the resistor code from the dealer and cross referencing it with the chart below. You will need proof of ownership and ID before they will give it to you.
VATS # (K)OHMS (Set your meter to the 20k ohm setting)
1= 0.402 k ohms
2= 0.523 k ohms
3= 0.681 k ohms
4= 0.887 k ohms
5= 1.130 k ohms
6= 1.470 k ohms
7= 1.870 k ohms
8= 2.370 k ohms
9= 3.010 k ohms
10= 3.740 k ohms
11= 4.750 k ohms
12= 6.040 k ohms
13= 7.500 k ohms
14= 9.530 k ohms
15= 11.801 k ohms
to make a copy using a cheap key you need an Ilco B62 blank then you will need to file off some of the head to make the blade longer. Hope this helps.

I fixed the rust on the vent boxes, there was quite a bit of junk inside them. I also got the door skins removed to work on the doors.

Here is a tour of Jeana Rileys' camper van. She has taken a Dodge conversion van and made a nice camper out of it. She even has a trailer she pulls behind her with solar panels on it and plenty of room for storage. It is a great setup for boondocking. She drove up here to have me install a thermostat starting system on it. She is a really nice lady and it was a pleasure to meet her.

In this video, I lengthen the gear shifter and hook up the winch. I also put a bigger battery in the Jeep.
I did a test on it to make sure it would pull the Jeep with no problems.

My old chain was still holding up but I wanted an upgrade. I installed an o ring chain to prevent mud and sand from wearing it out fast. It should last a lot longer.
I also show a couple more mods I have made.
As it was pointed out by a viewer, I put the new link backward. Not sure what I was thinking because I mentioned the correct positioning in the video. I have since corrected it.
